Firstly, the staff is great here. Helpful & friendly, they are fantastic! But, look you get what you pay for here. The location is pretty far from anything. You have to walk about 7-10 min. to get to the subway. There's a few cute places within walking distance (highly recommend Anaïs & the other direction, Smith St Bagels).
But the hotel location could be a bit off-putting to some. Warehouses/work shops & a sketchy area right next to it at the corner. This area felt ok safe, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're city-savvy. Now the hotel room itself. Whew. Guys, can't you shell out a bit for a little storage? Or even hooks could help. There is nowhere to put your suitcase, thus clothes littered our room. Only 1 verrrry small hanger area on the opposite side of the bed. The sink is in the bedroom & is super small, no counter or area to store toiletries; everything kept falling on the floor.
The shower is extreeemly small & not much water pressure. Bed was comfortable. The room was remarkably quiet.
If you are looking for an inexpensive place to just sleep (you are going to be busy everyday) & you don't mind a bit of sketch & walking (more than you already do in NYC), then go for it.
